On 30 January 2018, Ministers from 9 Member States convened in Brussels, Belgium, upon the invite of Karmenu Vella, Member of the EC in charge of Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, in a final effort to find solutions to address the serious problem of air pollution in the European Union. The 9 Member States, namely the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and the United Kingdom, face infringement procedures for exceeding agreed air pollution limits. At the meeting, Karmenu Vella called on Member States to finalise their submissions by the end of next week on how they intend to comply with EU law on air quality or else face legal action.
